AZ, CO are likely wins, and Collins would negate losing Jones in AL, so need two more to get to 51 Celerity Sep 2020 #19

And she'll be making a thoughtful, tempered speech about it any second, now.

Hickenlooper (CO) is two.

There are other possibilities--I think we can get what we need.
Montana, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Alaska have promise.

But I'm still nervous. Because after all this chaos and suffering, if Joe wins and we don't get the Senate, Joe's cabinet will be great but his 'build back better' will be dead.

They have removed party affiliation from the ballot, so no one will know who the Independents are
The republikkans can claim their opponents are Democrats

Kelly (AZ), John Hickenlooper (CO), Cal Cunningham (NC), Bullock (MT), Greenfield (IA), Bullock (MT), Harrison (SC), Ossoff (GA) all have shots.

Some are doing quite well in polling, especially Kelly and Hickenlooper.

North Carolina is looking pretty good



so one needed out of these


South Carolina




Iowa




Alaska




Montana (Bullock needs help, the Rethugs are burying him with adverts, he has lost his lead, Bloomberg should deffo step up here)





Kansas



Georgia Regular (Hazel is a Libertarian)
Georgia Special (Lieberman is looking like a possible spoiler, may end up making the runoff Rethug vs Rethug








Texas





Lost causes are probably

Tennessee
Kentucky

But unseating McConnell and Graham is a goal I didn’t dare dream could happen. Both are just absolute scumbags who have made a mockery of the Senate.

McConnell is going to survive but looks like Graham might be defeatable! Come on SC!!!

I think I heard if she loses and Dems keep there seats, there will be no Repuke reps or senators in NE.

I want to see them purged from NY, CA and New England on election night.
